Maika Knoblich (1986, DE), worked as an assistant to various directors at Maxim Gorki Theatre and did her B.A. at the Institute for Applied Theatre Studies in Giessen, where she established a long time collaboration with fellow student Hendrik Quast. In 2010 she joined the Master programe DasArts, holding a directors scholarship from the DAAD. Furthermore, Maika works as a light designer and dramaturge for various choreographers and directors, such as: Philippe Blanchard, Barbara Schmidt-Rohr, Olympia Bukkakis, Emmi-Lou Rößling, Billinger & Schulz, Karol Tyminski, SKART, Julian Weber and Jeremy Wade. She has been part of early gangplank residencies which have largely informed her interest in lights and the exchange of skills and knowledge between different artistic practices.
